Okay, i went to the body composition test and thought that my body fat% would lie somewhere around 24%, and that it will be nice to verify that so i can slowly lower it to 22%. You can imagine my schock when i got the results:

Phew, i haven't posted again for AGES! I'm gonna have to write alot again in the same post, because this is the only place where i'm logging my training except for my palm computer. I don't want to end up in the same situation as in may, when my battery died and all of the information was lost (the palm is from like 1998 or something ).

I was sick with the flu for some days (still am a bit), so no training on Tursday 13 - Tuesday 18. It was horrible to just sit inside for days and do nothing but sit on the computer or watch movies. I got so bored that i even did a floorplan of our bedroom and livingroom and made "models" of all of the furniture.

So i was on the gym yesterday and still a bit sick, but i was really surprised about how easy it was to train regardless of the sickness! I'm not sure if it's just about resting because i also had my first ever pre-work-out shake, it contained:- 0.5 g Acetyl L Carnitine- ~2 g L Tyrosine- 5 g Creatine- ~12 g "OsmoPure" Maltodextrin

In addition, i'm starting to take some Green Tea extract twice a day + Piracetam as soon as i get it from bulkpowders. Other: i'm taking extra magnesium and kalcium for a while because i had some nasty cramps in the front of my shin last week + zinc, b, c, a, e and selenium whenever i remember (just as a precaution, because i expect to get everything i need from my food)

As you might see on my logging, i have recently started to do 20 reps with the warming up -weights, this is to improve my muscle endurance.

Here's all the training since the last time i logged. I guess i did some bicycling too, but can't remember when.:

that's good why you first thought the f% would be so much higher ? I lolled too at the metabolic age. I guess they should adjust it: your metabolic age is 22; its the other people that have the metabolic age of 80 You're in great shape.

I had been on this cheaper body fat% scale that my friend has, and that said 24,5%. But it's also been some kilos ago, so it might have been accurate then. The first time i went on my friend's scale, it said 33%, and i'd already lost ~10 kilos

The metric system is socialized measurment. If you implement it it will only be a matter of time before your grandma will stand in front of a death panel being forced to deny the existance of baby Jesus.

I almost lol'd today at the gym because i did some easy math and this was the result:My epic pec-workout contained a total of 19 sets and 187 reps today And i also did all the other stuff: walking lunges, seated calf raises, hip abductions and crunches. I have to admit i feel pretty damn badass!

edit: i also counted the reps of the last pec-workout i posted here: 203, haha

Maybe you're on to something. Most girls I know have a really hard time building their chest and we all know that girls 1RM is a whole lot lower than guys in the bench press. I don't know if this has been examined in research but to suggest that we have totally different muscle fibers between the sexes doesn't seem to be that far off.

I changed my routine after several weeks of thinking about it, here's the new one!

I've got some shoulder-problems + the muscles in my upper back & shoulders end up inflamed all the time. I'm searching for a good physical therapist and hope to get my problems solved. I guess the biggest reasons for this are a) my genes, my mum has sore back muscles all the time too, b) my body isn't able to cope with this much exercise after years and years of no exercise at all. I'm trying to not strain these muscles as much anymore, and that's one of the main reasons for this new routine. I'm also trying to stretch more, and i have some extra time after workouts now for that (i'd never remember to stretch my muscles if i didn't do it at the gym. I know that it doesn't help muscle recovery, but that isn't the reason why i'm doing it).
